Check your freezers for Contaminated Beef with Salmonella

…get it out and throw it away. I would throw away all ground beef bought even after the day that the USDA has given (see below the *). USDA inspected and beef was released for sale. Where and when the contamination occurred? Remember, your health is first.

*Recalled products will have the establishment number “EST. 267” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced a massive recall of more than 6.5 million pounds of beef products that are contaminated with bacteria Salmonella Newport.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service division of the USDA says the health risk is high in the Class 1 recall.
